Labyrinth Together in Underground Dreams Chapter 1: The Bad News, a labyrinth fanfic

LABYRINTH: Together in Underground Dreams

(Together in Electric Dreams is my inspiration. Here is the lyric.)

Sarah sat down on her bed. She was reading the newspaper for a job while her radio was on.

The radio was playing the song: Together in Electric Dreams. Sarah loved the song. She began to sing along with the radio:

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
'til it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)
Sometimes it's hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And it's too late
It's just too late to stay
Too late to stay

We'll always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go I'll never find a better prize
(find a better prize)
Though you're miles and miles away
I see you every day I don't have to try
I just close my eyes, I close my eyes

We'll always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Sarah had an own apartment but things were not going too peachy.

She couldn't find a job to pay the apartment. She lost her old job because her boss wanted to date her and she refused.

"Ugh! I can't find anything!" Sarah said frustrated.

She stroke her hair back and threw the paper to the floor.

Sarah turned off the radio very irritated.

She was tired and wanted to sleep a little.

"Such misery." She mumbled before she slipped away in a dreamless sleep.

In the meanwhile, Jareth was playing (again) with his crystals. He was thinking about Sarah.

He tried to contact Sarah just after she bested him but it didn't worked. She wished not to see him.

The pain was still fresh. He promised himself to try it a couple of years later.

It was now 9 years ago… . Suddenly he heard the song she was singing along with the radio:

Well always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
Well always be together
Together in electric dreams

"Oh, Sarah, I wish you didn't hated me so much. I wish it wasn't my job to take children away. But I have no choice… ." he whispered. Then he smiled and said: We'll always be together, however far it seems… . He threw away his crystal and said: "We will meet again, soon, little girl. The crystals told me… You won't escape your destiny. You will love me as I love you. We'll ALWAYS be together… ."

Sarah woke up when someone knocked on the door.

She looked at the clock and saw that she had been sleeping for three hours.

She jumped off her bed and rushed to the door.

When she opened it she saw Toby standing in front of her.

"Hey Tobe, what.. ." Sarah said.

But before she could finish her sentence Toby jumped on her crying.

Toby was 9 years old and Sarah was 24 years old.

"Toby! What happened?"

Before Toby could answer someone cleared his throat.

Sarah hadn't seen the officer standing behind Toby.

"Oh, excuse me officer. What…?" Sarah began.

"Are you Sarah Williams? The big sister of this little guy?" he asked.

"Yes, I am." Sarah said.

"Something happened?"

"Your parents had an accident. Your brother ran away from the hospital but when we wanted to bring him back there he screamed that he wanted to see you." The officer said.

"Oh god! Are they ok?" Sarah asked and her eyes were filled with terror.

"Yes, but it's best if you go check on your parents." The officer said. " They are in the St. Syna Hospital. Do you know where it is?"

"Yeah, I'll go. Thank you very much, officer." Sarah said still in shock.

She closed the door and brought Toby to her room.

"Look, you go and sit here and watch the television while I'm going to change ok?" Sarah said.

Toby nodded and sat down with the remote-control in his hand.

Sarah changed as quickly as possible.

For one second she thought of her adventure in the Labyrinth.

She almost lost Toby there and now she almost lost her parents in a car-accident.

Sarah remembered that soon after she bested the Goblin King, Jareth came to her to apologize and ask forgiveness. She refused to see him. Now she thought about it, she wished that she didn't refused. She forgave Jareth already, years ago. Only if she could tell him. She was a spoiled brat to wish her brother away and give the Goblin King a broken heart. But it was her dreams or her brother. Sarah just couldn't choose for her dreams and wish her brother away because Toby didn't had anything to do with it. She wished things went different in those days.

"C'mon Tobe, let's go." Sarah said while picking up her purse and her car-keys.

Toby shut down the television and grabbed Sarah's hand.

"He must be really scared." Sarah thought.

"He never takes my hand because he says he's too old for it."

While Sarah was driving she heard Toby mumbling something.

Sarah didn't understand what he said but saw the hospital now.

She stopped the car in front of the hospital and got out of the car.

She opened the door for Toby and said: "What where you saying, Tobe?"

That was the last thing she would say.

Suddenly she felt really dizzy and passed out.
